One of the recommendations from the School Bond Task Force was formation of an oversight committee that would be charged with determining if bond revenue was going toward the projects identified on the ballot. If the bond is approved by voters in the General Election this November, the committee will be officially formed.

The Ferndale School District today announced the 7 members of a proposed oversight committee had been selected. Applicants chosen are:

Dan Cornelsen
Carpenter – United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America

The 7 Oversight Committee members were chosen by Bond Task Force members out of 12 applicants according to Bond Task Force Member Joe Lupo.

Lupo explained the expectations of the committee, “The concept of the Oversight Committee is that they participate in meetings with the owner (Ferndale School District) and the contractor with the intention of being able to see engineering progress, design progress, cost updates and schedule updates.”
